Getting my nerd on

So we've come to the end of another year. How fast its gone by. It feels like just yesterday I was celebrating the end of 2009, disappointing as usual. This year I've decided to avoid the disappointment and just skip New Years Eve all together. No party. No champagne. No New Year messages. That way I save money and don't have a hangover from hell in the morning. Perfect.

Its not that I'm getting too old to party. I can party it hard with the best of them while still remaining classy and lady like. Its just there is so much hype around New Years Eve parties, you are bound to be let down and left feeling unsatisfied and wanting.

In the spirit of avoidance I'm having a movie marathon. I'm a nerd deep down inside (don't tell anyone) so I'll be spending my evening watching all of the Star Wars movies. If I had more time I would have made a Princess Leia outfit, but I didn't. This way I don't have to watch those stupid New Years programmes and the countdown. I most likely won't even realise its the new year until the sun starts coming up. I don't have deal with drunk people invading my personal bubble or guys trying to kiss me at midnight. I won't be upset or let down because I have absolutely no expectation about tonight. Awesome. Best idea I've had so far.

About Me

I'm a 20 something post university student living out my remaining years in a perpetual limbo. I'm obsessed with movies and spend most my life watching them. If I'm not watching movies I usually have my nose stuck in a book. I can't go near a second-hand book store without buying several books. My collection is so large I've run out of space to put them and could probably open up a library. I eat too much junk food to fill the void, I hate liquorice, I suffer from insomnia and prance in the rain like a little fairy... but only on good days. I love Cape Town. The place and the people. There is nowhere better in the world. Not that I would know because I've never left South Africa.
